Bronx Gay Center Protest Walk

With the celebration of Gay Pride in NYC to commemorate the Stonewall riots
next weekend & the entire LGBT community waiting to hear the US Supreme gay marriage decision The Bronx LGBTQ Center will take to the streets this evening to reach out to the community & fight back against homophobia, transphobia & discrimination. They will be accompanied by Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. & NYC councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito. New York State Senator Jose M. Serrano is expected to join the walk, as well. The walk will begin at SCAN's Mullaly Recreation Center after a brief safety talk & proceed toward the Grand Concourse & Tremont at 6P at the Mullaly Recreation Center, 40 East 164th Street in the Bronx. Again we have to take to the streets into order to provide a safe environment for our LGBT citizens. Hopefully the country will take notice. The U.S. Supreme Court will rule within the next week on the fate of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Our LGBT community has worked so hard against DOMA's discrimination for nearly a decade & will not stop until full equality is achieved for their families. Let’s hope that the US Supreme Court will rule fairly & respectfully in this matter. Updates To Come…:)Hear Audio Interviews w/ LGBT Leaders@OUTTAKE VOICES™OUTTAKE VOICES™ NOW ON HUFF POST...:)
